9am - cool, drizzly. Ran sweep to the first water stop. Walked most of the way, jogged a bit on the road but had to stay in last position. Needless to say I was dead last at the first water stop so I broke the race down into the walking segment, and then the racing segment. [Jukola Spiders]

After sweeping the 1st 4 miles of the course, I was allowed to run. Ran hard from 1st to 2nd water stop to catch trailing packs. Hammered the stream bed really hard - passing 34 runners in less than a 1/2 mile. Slowed a little out of the stream bed but gradually picked up speed toward the end and passed many folks and finished very, very strong. did not manage to catch Glen Tryson though, he finished about 4 minutes ahead of me. - Total Time - 2:35:37 Place - ???

8am - cool, overcast. Not many folks running this AM with Race tomorrow. Ran sampler solo.

2PM - rainy, 40ish - ran blue loop cw to N end of park, then red loop ccw back to blue then back to HQ. Getting a feel for the terrain for a soon to get under way mapping project. Spent too much time looking into the terrain and not enough time watching the trail - hence played a lot of rock soccer.

5:40am - 58F, cloudy & misty, rather nice for running - trails dry. Not really motivated to run hard in early part of run. Felt more energetic towards end of run from laurel thickets back to parking lot. [Jukola Spiders]

5:45am - clear, cold - frost, muddy spots frozen - Sat blister healed up. Felt pretty good but slow on hills, a bit of exercise induced asthma towards end of run. [EQT Tridents]

4:40pm - sunny, high 60's, perfect running weather. A little stiff from this AM but loosened up on first hill. EI Asthma again, but not too bad until the end. [EQT Tridents]
